Default stacked gearbox?

Hi, I'm just wondering if someone could explain this "stacked" gearbox to me. I keep reading about yamaha's revolutionary stacked tri axis transmission layout, but I can't find anywhere that explains what it really is or what's so revolutionary about it. If anyone could tell me it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Conventionally the gear trains in a bike box are layed out side by side, In a stacked configeration they are on top of one another.
This allows the manufacturer to make the unit shorter and more compact.

I'll pass on Yamahas Tri axis as i will have to enquire about that one !!!
